Real electric bike for just $472
Re: Real electric bike for just $472
It seems I wrote it in a way that it caused misunderstanding: The $50 are a penalty for the attempt to charge it unauthorized and does not enable charging in the future. We had a guy who tried it so desperately, that in the end he fried the electronics of 2 batteries. That got a bit more than a $50 penalty...
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

Very cool. Do you have a picture (or I guess you could take one, lol) of the actual battery? I'm just curious to see what we'd be swapping.

Re: Real electric bike for just $472
I am all for alternative energy sources to fossil fuel but am not sure electric is the way to go,
The hassles of charging, the speed one can travel, the distance one can travel + the components of the battery are no better than fossil fuel
Not to mention the cost, (Battery replacements for our sample vehicles averaged between $4,000 and $18,000) https://www.consumeraffairs.com/automot ... -cost.html
resale prices, i have heard for used electric cars, is low cause of the replacement cost of the battery
So, for me, nothing i'd consider...

Re: Real electric bike for just $472
The alternatives aren't looking much better...
Re: Real electric bike for just $472
Please do research, why swap systems erase close to all of the critics mentioned about electric mobility. Additionally I am talking here about a 2 wheeler, not a 4 wheeler (although Oyika is working currently on swap systems for 3W and 4W)phuketrichard wrote: ↑Thu Mar 23, 2023 5:34 pm I am all for alternative energy sources to fossil fuel but am not sure electric is the way to go,
